We have not lost a deer in over 10 years due to our search groups we have set up with all the neighbors. They call us when they need help and we call them.

So you checked these water spots cause a gut shot deer will seek water? I found a gut shot deer last year. Let it sit over night and found it on the other side of a small creek. But it was only about 80 yards away, if that.

We have found a few deer near ponds and streams. If we lose the blood trail and don't find them with a grid search we will check around ponds and streams.

To the OP, great job, the kid will be a much better hunter for everyone's efforts recovering that deer.

Are you serious? This is a young man who is learning and more than likely got excited and pulled the shot. Even experienced hunters can & do make mistakes. And "avoid those shooters like the plaque" ???? That's pretty harsh to say the least.
It's pretty hard to miss the fact that this was a kid hunting during the youth season.
Unless you are to lazy to even read the original post & too quick to make a senseless comment.
Even if this had been an experienced adult who made a bad shot....
NOT COOL MAN.....
